Dear Target, Wish you feel better now. We’ll pray for you! There is a proverb: after you been through a disaster, you’ll have a good luck afterwards. Believe it, your dream will come true, because of your perseverance, hard work and luck.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the concern and prayers. I am feeling okay but sometimes not up to the mark. Couldnt rinse a pile of dishes for the dishwasher.....but that's probably because I dont like doing disheswink. Anyway studies have come to a halt for 5 days with hospital visits haematology consults, echo and venous doppler and lots of pricks for blood - they took about 50ml gosh! The worst was when she forgot to fill one more tube and took a another prick - she said "I am going thru the same hole" - I just felt like telling her -"well Great! But you are stimulating the same pain fibers!" . Well we all make mistakes - I calmed myself down. Dont ask me what are the pain fibers - Long time physio done ? last year......but is it delta and some free nerve endings?

I am having my doubts about 2009 match.....but a small voice keeps telling maybe I 'll make it! Why worry when He is on your sidenod

Thanks mjbapana,Anti D and doc Dee. I am at work today after almost a week. Lots to catch up. My scheduling permit came for Step 1 and CS. Hopefully should get back on track. Anyone who has taken CS can you give me an idea of how to go about the exam - is it wise to take it before step1 and 2. Thanks again everybody for your prayers and concern.

Hi Novak, thanks for stopping by. Yes you are right.

My progress very very slowwww.............not because of my health but probably I a worried about it and about my son. Anyway no use worrying - nothing is in our hands. I will keep doing my best. Have to rev up my engine. Getting bored with RR - have 9 chapters left yet. Part of me says to complete it - other part says switch to another subject if you bored?

Any opinions when you are in this situation ????raised eyebrow

I have changed books and even subjects, and it has worked, because instead of loosing time and just reading being bored or sick of reading the same thing, you change and you don't loose time because eventually you will return to read what you where reading but with fresh eyes and fresh mind, and meanwhile you are getting info on another subject that you also need.

Okay Day 1

Just got back from work and had dinner. It is 8.30 p.m I need to study something before going to bed. I am totally lost how to start again.

What I have done so far: Biochem, Physiology, Pathology 3/4th of RR, and 1/4 th of Pharm in Kaplan. Do I finish Path and Pharm or do I start a new subject? I want to include First Aid in my study from now on. Do I sign up for UWorld too? Confused . Any suggestions welcome.

Hi target

Oyeeeeeeee.,.. I sent u some links in email and u still wanna sign up ??????

Instead use that money to online NBMEs or UW assessments...

I think u can best complete those incompelte subs and then use those UW links to do subject wise qs.... in the mean while u can complete rest of subs....

After that assess with NBME.

Okay I need to finish up what's left - but at the same time want to start something new - I still have CNS left in pharm and path - hence I thought I will start with Neuroanatomy and then do them. All to be done by saturday.

No relation between Neuroanat and pharmac... go ahead and complete it..

Neuroanat 2007 lectures are pretty good.

Reg step 1 date ,First try for one month , the whole June.. then we will decide whether to postone or not.

U can finish it in 2 months.. i am doing it in 30 odd days...

But if u havent startted and plan to co-study this Neuroanat... then we can both work toggether on it.
